FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions? We’re Here to Help.

From choosing the right weekly schedule to understanding Spanish immersion, reading instruction, and additional subjects, here are answers to some of the questions families ask most.

How do I choose between the 2x and 3x weekly Kindergarten Core?

Both options focus on Spanish Language Arts and Mathematics. The main difference is the amount of live instructional time and practice your child receives each week.

The 2x weekly option provides a strong, consistent academic foundation with a lighter weekly schedule. The 3x weekly option provides an additional day for guided practice, reading development, reinforcement, and continued Spanish immersion.

Not sure which one to choose?

We would be happy to learn more about your learner and help you determine an appropriate starting point.

Schedule a Free Discovery Meeting
Does my child need to already speak or read Spanish?

Not necessarily. Children enter immersion programs with different levels of Spanish experience.

Prior Spanish exposure can make the transition into academic learning through Spanish easier, but students do not need to already be fluent. We use visuals, modeling, repetition, classroom routines, guided practice, and age-appropriate support to help learners understand and participate.

If your child is completely new to Spanish and you are unsure whether Kindergarten Immersion or a beginner Spanish program would be the better starting point, our team can help you determine an appropriate pathway.

Will my child actually learn to read in Spanish?

Spanish reading is an important part of our Kindergarten Language Arts program.

Students develop early reading skills through a structured syllabic progression, moving from letters and sounds to syllables, words, sentences, and early reading.

At the same time, students develop vocabulary, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral language, handwriting, and early writing skills.

The goal is not simply to sound out words. Students are developing the skills they need to begin reading, understanding, discussing, and communicating meaning in Spanish.

What is included in the Kindergarten Core?

The Kindergarten Core includes live instruction in Spanish Language Arts and Mathematics.

SPANISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Phonological awareness, letter-sound relationships, syllables, vocabulary, early reading, comprehension, oral language, handwriting, and early writing.

MATHEMATICS

Number sense, counting, comparing quantities, patterns, shapes, measurement, early operations, mathematical thinking, and problem solving.

Families can then expand their learner's Academy experience with additional academic subjects, electives, and eligible Social Clubs.

Do we have to enroll in Science, Social Studies, Art, and Clubs too?

No. One of the benefits of the Academy is that families can build a schedule that works for their learner.

Your child can participate in the Kindergarten Core by itself, or your family can create a broader Spanish immersion experience by adding Kindergarten Science, Social Studies, Art, and eligible Social Clubs.

This allows families to choose anything from a focused Core schedule to a more complete week of academic, creative, and social learning through Spanish.

What will students learn in Kindergarten Science and Social Studies?

Kindergarten Science introduces age-appropriate concepts across life science, Earth science, physical science, space, simple machines, the five senses, forces, and related topics. Students learn through discussion, observation, meaningful activities, and hands-on exploration.

Kindergarten Social Studies introduces communities, rules and responsibilities, maps and geography, countries, early economics, families, celebrations, past and present, leaders, inventors, and the world around us.

Both subjects are taught through Spanish, giving learners additional opportunities to build academic vocabulary and communication skills while learning meaningful Kindergarten content.

Is this a complete homeschool Kindergarten curriculum?

The Spanish Immersion Academy provides structured academic instruction through Spanish, but families remain responsible for determining whether the classes they select meet their homeschool requirements and educational goals.

Some families may use Academy classes as a significant part of their homeschool learning, while others may use them alongside another curriculum, a traditional school, a dual-language program, or other educational resources.

The flexibility is intentional. Families can select the Academy experiences that best complement their child's overall education.

What if my child is older or younger than the typical Kindergarten age?

Age is an important consideration, but it is not the only factor that can help determine an appropriate starting point.

A learner's previous Spanish exposure, academic readiness, reading development, confidence, and previous educational experiences can also be helpful when considering placement.

If your child falls outside the typical age range or you are unsure which program would be the best fit, please contact our team before enrolling.

What happens if my child misses a class?

We understand that absences happen. Because these are ongoing academic classes and skills build over time, consistent attendance is encouraged.

Options following an absence may vary depending on the specific class and enrollment platform. Families should review the policies associated with their enrollment for information about recordings, missed classes, transfers, refunds, or other available options.

If you know your learner will be away for an extended period, please contact our team and we can help you understand the options available for your enrollment.

What technology and materials will my child need?

Students need a reliable internet connection and a device that supports live online classes, including a working camera and microphone.

Depending on the class, students may also use simple learning materials such as paper, pencils, crayons, a whiteboard, printed resources, flashcards, manipulatives, or common household materials.

Any specific materials needed for an upcoming lesson will be communicated to families in advance.

Do we need to speak Spanish at home?

No. Families do not need to speak Spanish at home for their child to participate in the Academy.

Consistent attendance, encouragement, and giving your learner opportunities to practice what they are learning can make a meaningful difference—even when parents or caregivers do not speak Spanish themselves.

Our goal is to create a supportive environment where children become increasingly comfortable understanding and using Spanish through meaningful learning experiences.

I still don't know which program or schedule is right for my child. Can you help?

Absolutely. You do not have to figure out placement or scheduling on your own.

We can learn more about your child's age, previous Spanish exposure, reading experience, academic needs, and your family's goals to help you identify an appropriate starting point.

Schedule a complimentary Discovery Meeting or send our team an email and we'll be happy to help.
